In the opinion of those who know something about a fighter, McGuire it fit to meet any boy in his class. Manager William J. Mehring, Jr., of the Keystone Sporting Club, has planned to let McGuire rest to-day, but the Williamsport boy wanted an other day. He started in early with his road work. This afternoon a num ber of admirers from Williamsport, Lebanon, Lancaster and Lewistown visited the training camp. Welsh Due To-day Welsh was scheduled to arrive in Harrisburg late this afternoon. Man ager Mehring arranged for quarters at Hummelstown, Middletown and Dau phin for the Englishman and was not sure to which place he would go for a brief work-out. Manager Harry Pollock was anxious to locate at a place where road work was possible. Welsh will probably enter the ring at 133 pounds. McGuire will weigh 138. This is not according to cham pionship rules, but it will make little difference with the local manager. McGuire will go into the battle to win. The other bouts on the bill are all wind-up features.

McGraw made a j special trip to Texas to look Fred | over. Last season Brainard hit only .200 but was a valuable all-around j man, covering first, second and \hird at various times when the regular Tn— cumbents' were incapacitated. On the training trip this year Brainard fell down both in his batting and fielding. When Lobert's injury forced McGraw to use Brainard on third in the first two games at Phila delphia, and Fred fllvvered in all de portments. the Giants obtained Mc- Kechnie and set about looking for a. new berth for Brainard.

WELLY'S f CORNER This week finds the big universities wrestling with football. Candidates have been called and a number of squads are at Spring practice. "Bob" Folwell started his men at University of Pennsylvania to-day. The men who came out were mostly freshmen and the holdovers from last year's varsity squad.

Jones will drill the squad in fundamentals. Scrimmage practice will be taken up next week. Assisting the head coach are Dr. W. T. Bull, Vance C. McCor mick, John Kilpatrick and Brink Thorn. Printed rules will be distri buted to the players and periodical ex aminations held to ascertain how ra pidly the candidates are acquiring football knowledge. Officially, Jackie Clark was given a draw in his bout with Joe Borrell at Reading last night.

Harrlsburgers who attended the tight report that Clark was far the better man. and that Borrell was strong only in the fourth round.

Manager William J. Mehring, Jr., of the Keystone Sporting Club, and manager also for McGuire, said "it was too late to change the con tract to bring about a title battle, and that he would leave it to the patrons, as to McGuire's ability, and the right of the local boy to get into the light weight contender class.

Welsh is an expensive at traction and patrons expect the Eng lishman to deliver his best efforts and abide by the result. j The large trophy room at Tech was thrown open last night for the bene fit of those in attendance at the lec ture in the auditorium. The four lov ing cups and banner won by Tech re lay runners at Philadelphia Saturday I were on exhibition. The cups are the property of the individual who par ; participated In the relay race. The i banner remains at the school. In addition to an entry in the relay at University of Pennsylvania next year, Tech will also make a try for tlie high school championship. The four runners who brought honors to Tech are all juniors and will have a chance to compete again next year. Northeast high school of Philadelphia winner of this year's championship made the mile in 3.34. It is the belief that Tech runners would be able to clip at least two seconds from the Saturday mark, which would give Tech the right to take a chance. With favorable weather this week, and all games played, Saturday may find another switch in the standing of the major league teams. Last week's results brought some important changes. Detroit, Brooklyn and Chi cago made advances. The Phillies are giving Brooklyn a hard chase for first place. Pitchers are showing improved form and hitters are falling down on big averages. The. Athletics are going l nicely and expect to make a better showing each week.
